Frequently Asked Questions

What are some essential upgrades for a home defense Glock?

For home defense, consider upgrading the recoil spring, adding OEM extended slide stop and magazine release, custom stippling for grip, a lighter trigger connector like the Ghost 3.5lb, and factory night sights. A weapon light such as the Streamlight TLR-1 is also highly recommended.

How can I improve the trigger pull on my Glock?

You can improve your Glock's trigger pull by installing a lighter trigger connector, such as the Ghost 3.5lb model, for a crisper break. For a more significant upgrade, consider a full aftermarket trigger assembly like the ZEV Fulcrum Ultimate.

What are suppressor-height sights used for on a Glock?

Suppressor-height sights, like those from Ameriglo or Night Fision, are taller than standard sights. They allow you to aim over a mounted suppressor and are also useful for co-witnessing with red dot optics, providing a backup aiming solution.

Which red dot sights are suitable for custom Glock builds?

Popular red dot sights for custom Glock builds include the Trijicon RMR Type 2 (often with a 3.25 MOA dot) and the Burris Fastfire 3. These require compatible mounting systems like those from Outer Impact.
